Florida Collaborative Divorce Cases

Broward County Collaborative Divorce Attorney

The unfortunate truth is that the majority of
divorce cases are contested and they turn into a "take them for all that
they're worth" type of situation. With collaborative law, families
can save both time and money and lower the levels of stress that are associated
with divorce. Collaborative law is not for everyone but if you and your
spouse would like to settle your case outside of court, then it is a smart
option. By implementing collaborative techniques, you may be able to resolve
your family dispute in a civil and respectful manner without the cost
of going to trial. In collaborative divorce cases, each spouse/partner
will have the support and legal guidance of their attorney and the overall
goal will be to reach a mutually desirable and beneficial agreement. If

Collaborative Practices vs. Litigation

If all divorcing couples were able to work together as a team and used
the collaborative practice process, then divorce would be a much simpler
process. The main core elements involved with collaborative law include:

Both parties negotiating to reach a mutually acceptable settlement without
court involvement

Both parties striving to maintain open communication

Both parties acknowledging the top priority and creating shared solutions

With collaborative law, you and your spouse control the final outcome rather
than having a judge make the final decision for you. The main difference
between collaboration and litigation is that your attorneys will be working
towards a mutually desired resolution rather than fighting to win while
the other losses. Collaborative law is also a much more time and cost-effective
solution because you can control the timetable, with litigation the process
is typically draw out because of the court's overwhelming case load.
Another benefit to collaborative law is that your legal matter will be
kept private within the confines of your negotiations rather than putting
in on public record and, in some cases, drawing media attention to your case.

An Alternative to Divorce Litigation

If you are looking for a civil form of conflict resolution, then it is
time to find out if collaborative law practices are the best option for
you. Collaborative practice begins with self-respect, if you and your
spouse have mutual respect for each other and are able to work together
in order to reach an agreement, then the process can be much more productive
and beneficial for everyone involved.
